An Agent-Based Game Platform for Exercising People´s Prospective Memory

Prospective memory, the ability to remember doing future tasks without being reminded, is a critical ability in everyday life. As the elderly are vulnerable to age-related declines in prospective memory, it is important to prevent this decline in advance. In this demonstration, we develop an agent-based game for practicing prospective memory. It can potentially provide a convenient and natural way to predictively monitor older adults´ prospective memory and motivate the elderly to practice the ability. Furthermore, multiple agents were applied in the game to promote user experience and provide personalized training program.
